Every time someone said bad things about Xie Ji, Liu Shui would always scold him. Xie Ji was used to it.

"Liushui, let's go back to Hengyang County first, here..."

"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."

Before Xie Ji could say anything, his stomach growled. It was really embarrassing. Xie Ji looked at Liu Shui and said, "How about we find an inn to have a meal first, and then change clothes. Liu Shui,

Do you have some silver with you?"

Xie Ji saw in TV dramas that many people paid private visits incognito and did not bring any money. He had to say hello, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing if he had no money.

"Master, there are many more here. They were all bribed by the county magistrate." Liu Shui said as he took out a large stack of banknotes from his arms. The denominations were quite large.

Xie Ji took a look, and it seemed that he had to thank the person who bribed him. It was dirty money, so he spent it reluctantly.

"Then let's go have a meal." Xie Ji was so hungry that he almost collapsed from exhaustion. He had to eat something to replenish his energy.

Liu Shui nodded and followed Xie Ji.

After walking for a long time, I saw a hotel called Fengfenlou.

"You can't come in." Xie Ji was stopped by a clerk just as he was about to go in to eat.

Xie Ji looked at the flowing water, and he understood and took out a banknote. Xie Ji smiled and said, "What about this?"

The clerk immediately changed his expression with a smile on his face: "You two, please come in, please come in, what do you need?"

Xie Ji threw the banknotes in his hand on the ground in front of the clerk, who picked up the banknotes with a professional smile that never changed.

Xie Ji thought that this person was quite thick-skinned and could be compared to him.

"Eat whatever you want, and then help us find two clean clothes." Xie Ji ordered. Sure enough, money can make all the difference.

The clerk sent Xie Ji to a private room upstairs, where the lighting was perfect and he could see the scene below.

"Okay, you two, please take a seat first, and your clothes will be waiting for a while." After saying that, he walked towards the owner of the restaurant and said, "Housekeeper, we have a distinguished guest."

As he said this, he handed the banknotes that Liu Shui handed him to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper immediately smiled into a flowery face.

"Where does this distinguished guest come from?" The shopkeeper said to Xie Ji with a smile. He could tell at a glance that Xie Ji had a good temperament. If he could serve this distinguished guest well, he would probably have many benefits.

“I’m eating here and you’re asking me where I’m from?” Xie Ji frowned. If he hadn’t been so hungry now, he really wouldn’t want to come here to eat.

"No, no, no." The shopkeeper shook his head immediately, he had to leave a good impression on this distinguished guest.

"Then why don't you hurry up and prepare food? Do you want us to starve?" Xie Ji didn't want to give him a good look. This man is a virtuous person.

Although what he did was normal, it would be uncomfortable if it happened to him.

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." After the shopkeeper said that, he went immediately.

"Liu Shui, sit down." Xie Ji smiled when he saw Liu Shui still standing beside him.

"Master, this is not etiquette. It is forced by the situation in the den of thieves and bandits, but it cannot be done now." Liu Shui shook his head quickly.

"I asked you to sit down. Now I am an ordinary citizen. What is the difference between me and you?"

Xie Ji directly pulled Liu Shui down and sat down. Liu Shui was so moved that he cried.

"Dear guest, the clothes you want are here." The clerk came over with a smile and held two pieces of clothes.

Xie Ji saw the clean clothes the clerk brought over.

"Sir, the food you requested is here." The shopkeeper said after seeing Xie Ji and the others changing their clothes, "Braised pig's trotters, boiled cabbage, roasted goose and tofu..."

Xie Ji looked at it with an appetite. Although the owner of this restaurant had a bad character, the food he cooked was quite delicious.

Xie Ji picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and said, "Yeah, not bad."

"My lord, it's you who are here. I welcome you here. Your arrival makes the shop brighter." Suddenly a middle-aged man came over, and the shopkeeper ran over to greet him in person, with a very humble attitude.

, no, it’s flattery.

"Wang Fugui, your words are as sweet as ever." The middle-aged man laughed, obviously becoming familiar with this Wang Fugui.

"County Lord, it should be, it should be. Without the County Lord's blessing, how could the shop have been able to open so well." Wang Fugui waved his hand and someone handed over an exquisite wooden box.

Wang Fugui opened the box and revealed the contents. The magistrate's eyes lit up.

Wang Fugui smiled happily at the county magistrate, covered the box, held it up with both hands, and handed it to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate pretended not to care and said: "We are all so familiar, why are you being polite to me? Take it back, take it back."

He said this verbally, but in fact he kept his eyes on the box.

"County Lord, just accept it. This represents the villain's heart. If the County Lord doesn't accept it, the villain will not feel at ease." Wang Fugui continued to say respectfully, as if he really wanted the county magistrate to accept it.

wooden box.

"If there's anything you're not sure about, let's leave it alone. It'll be fine as long as it comes to your mind." The county magistrate continued to decline.

"Your Majesty, please fulfill my wish, otherwise I will not be able to continue to receive the blessing of your Majesty." Wang Fugui continued, his attitude still so humble.

The county magistrate finally did not refuse this time, and said, "Since shopkeeper Wang has such intention, I will reluctantly accept it and fulfill your wishes."

After saying that, he asked his subordinates to put it away.

"Thank you so much, Lord County, Lord County, come, come, please have a seat. I didn't treat you well, so please bear with me, Lord County." After Wang Fugui said this, he took the Lord County Lord to the best box.

Seeing this admiration, Xie Ji was shocked and said: "This corruption and bribery actually requires three concessions and three concessions. When did corruption have such complicated etiquette? Is it to make the corruption more peaceful?"

?”

This corruption was such a disgraceful thing, and it was actually done in such a high-level way. He was really shocked, couldn't he hide it?

"Principal, Liu Shui also thinks that the county magistrate is too exaggerated. He has done so many tricks in corruption. Can't he just take it away? He actually thinks of himself as so high-ranking." Liu Shui also complained, how can this county magistrate be compared with the patriarch?

However, everyone who comes comes is not rejected, and he refuses nothing. He always accepts the things delivered directly without saying a polite word. This county magistrate is corrupt and engages in so many tricks, which is a waste of time.

However, Xie Ji thought about what he had done, and felt that the county magistrate did a good job. After all, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer.

After a long time, when it was time for Xie Ji to leave, he suddenly heard a sentence coming from the county magistrate's box: "Do you want me to go to the next county to visit the prime minister?"

"My lord, the county next door is too far away. I heard something happened in the county next door, so they have all been sealed off." An official under the county magistrate spoke.

"What's the point? How big of a deal do you think this is? As long as I go to see the Prime Minister, I might get a chance to be promoted." The voice of the county magistrate continued to be heard.

"My lord of the county, then I would like to congratulate my lord on your superiority."

"Hahaha, then tell me what the prime minister likes, and I will do what he likes." The county magistrate laughed, as if this matter had come true.

"My lord, I heard that the Meng family has a little lady who is as beautiful as a fairy and has a dignified figure. They all say she is a fair lady. Gentlemen are so jealous. I guess a gentleman like the Prime Minister also likes ladies!"

A subordinate suggested.

"Then I'm going to take the Meng family's little lady as my concubine. Wouldn't it be a pity to send her there like this?" The county magistrate said a little embarrassed. In fact, this county magistrate was obsessed with beauty and had already forcibly married several women.

A young lady.

"Your Majesty, you can't bear to have children, but you can't trap the wolf. In the future, your Majesty, you will be promoted. What kind of beauties do you want?" The subordinate continued. They knew that the County Magistrate was lustful, but they didn't expect him to be so lustful.

"That's right, that's okay. You can bring that little lady here later and we'll send her to the prime minister tomorrow." The county magistrate hesitated for a moment and then made a decision. After all, a beautiful woman is not as good as a promotion.

Xie Ji listened to their words, and his face looked strange. Even he could tell that he was in a bad mood.

"Master, this county magistrate actually wants to use the master's help to get promoted, and also gives the master a beautiful woman. It's so disgusting. He must not even be an official." Liu Shui cursed, what does this county magistrate think of the master?

Don’t you know that the head of the family and his wife have a deep love for each other?

What's the purpose of actually giving a woman away? He knew that the head of the family had only had one wife for more than ten years and had never taken a concubine, so he kept himself clean.

Even if the woman His Majesty gave to the head of the family today, the head of the house has not touched it. Doesn’t the world know that the head of the house and his wife treat each other as guests, which is unmatched by many people?

"I know, it's not good. The county magistrate is going to arrest that young lady of the Meng family. Let's leave quickly and return to Hengyang County. Then someone will take the black gauze hat off the head of the county magistrate. He is not worthy." Xie Ji
